She was 117

quote:

ROME -- Emma Morano, at 117 the world’s oldest person who is also believed to have been the last surviving person born in the 1800s, died Saturday at her home in northern Italy, her physician said.

Dr. Carlo Bava told The Associated Press by phone that Morano’s caretaker had called him to say she had stopped breathing in the afternoon while sitting in an armchair at her home in Verbania, a town on Italy’s Lake Maggiore.

There are likely people that old that live in the jungles of rural third world areas

Tribes in borneo found last year were tested medically and had the healthiest hearts ever recorded.

Yeaaaah NO! Infections, crappy sanitation, diseases, bad human development, you'd be lucky to get past 40. There is a reason the average lifespan was like 50 just a hundred years ago.

Was thinking about the thread I made on her couple weeks ago last night and checked to see if she was still alive. Damn.

It's beautiful up there. Pretty much a cheaper Lake Como...wouldn't mind living until 117 and dying peacefully there.

Just imagine everything that she's seen her lifetime.

You have to be so ready to die at 117. At that point you've probably buried everyone you care about including your kids and probably even some grandkids.
